1. Glass Birdbath Garden Totem
You’ll probably think that this beautiful glass bird bath is bought at one piece, but the truth of the matter couldn’t be farther from what you’re thinking.
This recycled green colored drinking vessel was made up of 2 vases and some other pieces secured with outdoor silicone based glue- all found on the flea market!
You can add small accents or colors, like blue birds or butterflies if desired for additional interest in your design.
2. Eclectic Glass Totems
This glass tower is a more traditional take on the totem. It’s made from upcycled pieces like vases, candlesticks and plates that have been frosted or colored to match each other beautifully!
You can search antique stores in flea markets for all your favorite translucent colors!
3. Stacked Glass Totems
A totem is a great way to create an eye-catching garden feature that will catch the attention of anyone walking by. The more pieces you find for your glass sculpture, the better!
You can place this in front or behind so it’s never too visible but always admired no matter where visitors go within your property boundaries.
4. Glass Tower Totem
This take on a glass totem uses flexible rods as the center post, secured in the ground and covered up with an urn or planter.
Instead of finding plates for this project you can use old lamps from 60’s-70s that have been collected to make colorful light displays at any time!
5. Glass Totem
Finding flat bottoms is important to making this totem. The epoxy holds it together, and alternating colors throughout shows the creativity!
